Two weeks ago I started passing gallstones and was in the ER twice, the<br clear="none">
second time on 24-hour wait for an operating room at the level 1/2<br clear="none">
facility that could remove a *perforated* gall bladder over the weekend.<br clear="none">
Then oops, it's not perforated, you can go home.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Yesterday I had my gall bladder removed and recovery time is at least 2<br clear="none">
weeks, maybe 3, surgery took 2 hours instad of 90 minutes. No lifting<br clear="none">
anything over 10# for at least 2 weeks and I'm on Norco for most of next<br clear="none">
week. At least is was lapro and I could go in at 07:30 and check out at<br clear="none">
14:00, no two-three day observation day like in previous decades.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Oh well, maybe next year. I should have the bike exhaust upgraded by<br clear="none">
then and maybe, finally, finish my adaptors for mounting R100 bags on an<br clear="none">
R80 frame. (Which is waaaaay more complicated than I thought when I<br clear="none">
started last Spring.)<br clear="none">
